Essentially, the person quoting is reposting the original link. That, unfortunate as it may be, puts them in the same boat as the original poster.

i see what is going on, i don't understand why.

so through the acknowledgment of a comment, others are subject to the same punishment as if they made the comment themselves. makes no sense. even if the comment falls under a gray area. so basically, nobody should ever quote a comment cause if a mod thinks it is against the forum rules, you will be subject to the same as the op.

seems a bit bass-ackwards. why not just delete the posts?

if i acknowledge a comment from a radical group that hates jews, then by simply quoting the statement, i automatically fall into the same group. at least by your reasoning, even if i am commenting to oppose the discriminatory statement. i should still be tarred and feathered and labeled as a neo-nazi.

you are starting to see where "sopa" came from. the ppl that run the planet have used these forums to test it out.....
